today I want to show you a realism portrait painting I made this week.

I attended a online class from Karen Milstein. She is a amazing talented girl who paint whimsical and realism portraits, dreamy flowers and sweet tutu in a lovely way. I love her pastel and soft way to paint and with her online class I had the courage to try a realism portrait.

This little painting is on a sticky canvas sheet and it shows my younger daughter.
This
canvas sheet is perfect for me because I'm not sure where to put it down.
Maybe in my art Journal, maybe in a Minibook I will made for my
daughter, maybe as wall decoration... Not sure yet.

It has sometimelasteduntil I wassatisfied. Let me show you...

Above - I called her finished but during the process of sharing it on Facebook and Instagram I saw a lot of mistakes that I decided to give it another try.

I havemade ​​someimprovements on her hair, nose, eyes, mouth, background and neck. Istill seeimprovementneededbut Iam satisfied with theresult.Itneeds a lot ofexercise and time to paint it halfwayrealistically.Particularlytheeyes and mouthI need to practice.

This is the finished version with the Referenz photo (above).

I loved to paint her, I had a lot of fun and this will notbe the last.

today I want to show you a Valentine's Card I made for the Prima Marketing - Ingvild Bolme Blog Hop. The card is called "LOVE" (asmight be expected ;-)).

It's a folded card you can open in the middle. For the background I used a
beautiful paper from Prima Marketing Delight Collection and I decorated
it with a Shabby Chic Treasure from the Easter collection from Ingvild
Bolme. The two lovely chicken are showing so much love just perfect also for
the Valentine's Day. My closure is a lock from the Junkyard Findings Key
Holes from Ingvild, holded all together with a ribbon.

Inside I have also used the paper from Delight collection and a sewn handmade
paper journaling garland. Perfect for other Shabby Chic Treasures and
Junkyard Findings, like Lace Heart and Metal Corners, I used here. My words inside are "Love", "Happiness", "Zest for Live".

Please hop over to the blog of Prima Marketing to see all the lovely Valentine's projects from the other girls of the DT of Ingvild Bolme.More details of each project you can find on their personal blogs.

it's time for another challenge on Paperdvizhnik.
"Pose" is the theme and you can make any project you want with an interpretation of this theme.

This is my take on this challenge. It's a little layout with one of my daughters and I tried to create aidyllicEaster scene. I used some of beautiful chipboards from Wycinanka. Check out their shop, it's amazing!

The workshop is called "Treasures" and we want to create something like this, a mixed media Minialbum in a sweet handy form.

This
workshop consists of two parts: a mixed media part and a scrapbooking part.

During the first part we will create a mixed media
cover for a mini album with the help of stencils from Mary Beth Shaw, color sprays from Tattered Angels and
different mixed media techniques. From the paper scraps we will create tags and
punch-elements, which will be used later in the album as embellishments.

During the
second part we will use papers, cards, stickers and embellishments from Me
& My Big Ideas to combine them into a mini book. For the binding and
decoration a yarn and twine from Garn & Mehr will be provided.We will also use Adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l to realize all of it.

During the 2,5-hour
workshop you will create the cover and the mini album. When there is still time
(I think so ;-)) you can decorate the inside pages of the mini album.

A detailed
description will be available for you to reproduce the cover and mini album and
give you some decoration ideas for the inside pages.

You will love the kit!

You have still time for the Once Upon A Sketch February Sketch Challenge "Addicted to...".
Today I want to show my layout I made for the OUAS DT.

It's about the snow fun and the excitement of my girls when they are sliding or build a snowman. It's always heartwarming to see their joy. The girls are addicted to snow but I'm addicted to their smiles and laugh. :-)

I would love to see your interpretation of the sketch and theme this month.

Willkommen /Welcome

About me

My name is Stephanie Schütze, a mixed media artist, scrapbooker, art journaler with a passion for drawing. I have been scrapping since 2008 and like that creative work with paper. Later it turned more and more to mixed media. There are so many possibilities for creativity and I love it!
